Nice Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Chesapeake

Had forgotten that I've been here before. Gave them a 4 star rating, feels like I didn't order from their authentic special dishes that are in the back of their menu,Maybe this time I would taste a 5 star dish that most of my fellow Yelpers write about. The place is clean, got here on a wet gloomy Saturday so am up for delicious mild spicy dish that will warm my tummy and fill it with goodness! Service is friendly, I was immediately greeted upon entering, asked how many and was told to seat myself anywhere. I love booths enough for me, myself and I to spread out, their booth tabletop is wrapped in linen and then a layer of clear plastic. Slight upgrade to bare takes I suppose. All around the walls are recognizable Thai decor: a large red velvet linen with gold thread embroidery of elephants, sacred to Thai culture. There are metal lotus flowers on the wall. There is an aquarium which provides for a serene atmosphere. Even the placemat reminds you to "Always Stay Humble and Kind", akin to the teachings of Buddha. Now to the important aspect of a restaurant that neither service nor ambiance can ensure repeat patronage: how good is the food? I definitely know it is an absolute 5 star, I'd give a 10 if I could. It's downright well seasoned, just right harmony of salty, sweet, spicy, crispy and moist. Order nbr T4 - Kra Prao with crispy pork belly (the fish comes with ground pork as well - moo...

Our dinner at Nice wasn’t just nice, it was VERY NICE. Jokes aside, it was a great experience and we will definitely be returning. The restaurant itself was charming and the staff could not have been more personable. We had two dishes from the Authentic Thai section, Hot Pan Lard Na and Khao Soi Chicken, which were both excellent. The Hot Pan Lard Na is the most interesting and flavorful Thai dish I have ever tasted. The Lard Na is served with a bit of flourish on a hot pan table side , with the delicious gravy being poured onto the hot pan, creating an aromatic cloud of steam. The pork was tender and juicy, which unfortunately is not common at other Thai restaurants, and the wide noodles were amazing and unlike any I have had before. The Khao Soi chicken is like an interesting Thai take on Fried Chicken and consists of a juicy piece of pan fried/braised chicken served on a bed of fried noodles, with a curry poured onto the dish at the table. I preferred the Hot Pan Lard Na but I would have walked away very happy if I just had the chicken. Multiple members of the staff/ownership visited the table, each with a genuine smile on their face, creating a good vibe in the restaurant. I look forward to trying more dishes on the menu. If you haven’t tried it already, make sure you give Nice Thai Cuisine a chance as it was an excellent meal and an enjoyable...

This is an amazing Thai Restaurant that serves delicious Traditional Thai, Bangkok and Isan style dishes. In the back is Chef Name who has apprenticed under and cooked with 3 different Michelin Star chefs at some of Bangkok's top establishments. His 8 years at places like 5 Star St. Regis in Bangkok really shines through each meal here at Nice Thai. In the front is his wife, Chef Bew, who is equally great in her dishes.

For a small family run business they cook big meals. They shop for fresh meats and vegetables every morning before they arrive at the restaurant. This is the way they do it in Thailand. And every dish is cooked to order. This might take a few more minutes to get to you in peak times, but is so worth the wait.

Order your favorites right off the menu or ask about their rotating specials. Either way you will not be disappointed. And if you want something not on the menu, they are always happy to cook it up special for you as long as they have the fresh supplies on hand. So that amazing dish you had on that backpacking trip to S.E. Asia back in college can be made.

This family really puts love into all of their food and it shows. Give them a chance and be patient. It's...
